Re: Can't launch game after update 1.1.3.5
im not on PC. im on PS5 but i cant launch game since this update either. mine keeps saying i have an update to download and install but there's no update available for me. i have plenty of storage space so im not sure what my issue is. however, i also have never had any issues until now. interestingly BF 2042 wont launch now either. i notice on PS5 it says they share data so that may be why both games wont launch.
The game crashes before it opens.
I can't launch the game battlefield 2042. I click launch in both the app and the desktop, the EA app disappears and the game loading image is displayed for 15 seconds, then the image disappears and the app reappears. I tried restarting the computer, repairing the game through the app, repairing the app itself. I deleted the app and the game, deleted all their files from the computer and reinstalled everything. I reinstalled the anti-cheat and nothing helps, the game won't open. (Other games I tried to install like BATTLEFIELD 1 and 5 did work. After consulting with the technical advice in chat, I also did the following: Clear EA App Cache Close the EA App completely. Navigate to: C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop Delete the AppCache folder. Restart the EA App and try launching again. Run EA App and Game as Administrator Right-click EA App → Run as Administrator. Do the same for BF2042.exe in the game folder. Disable Overlays Turn off EA App Overlay, Steam Overlay, Discord Overlay, and any GPU overlays (NVIDIA/AMD). These can interfere with the game launch. Check Anti-Cheat Integrity Go to: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA AntiCheat Run EAAntiCheatInstaller.exe → Repair for Battlefield 2042. Update or Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables Download the latest x64 and x86 Visual C++ packages from Microsoft. Install or repair them. Force DirectX 11 Mode Battlefield 2042 defaults to DX12, which can cause crashes on some systems. Add a launch argument: -dx11 In EA App → Game Properties → Advanced Launch Options → Paste the above. Check GPU Drivers & Windows Updates Update to the latest GPU driver (NVIDIA/AMD). Ensure Windows is fully updated. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations Right-click BF2042.exe → Properties → Compatibility → Check Disable Fullscreen Optimizations. And nothing works. I would appreciate your help
